Get Hamr'd

Believe what you’ve heard. Alpine’s amplifiers and subwoofers have earned serious street creditability in the past years. Following this reputation, Alpine’s current series of subwoofers and amps with new HAMR technologies push power and performance to new extremes, delivering dollar for watt performance beyond the competition.

Alpine’s power grid sets you on the right path, the way to getting best possible bass and performance for money. Get Hamr’d with outstanding subwoofers paired with powerful amplifiers for superior, tight, accurate and long lasting bass.

About HAMR Engineering

We know you like a lot of bass and like to enjoy the most out of your sound system, which is why Alpine is dedicated to building durable components for the ultimate sound quality. HAMR Engineering is Alpine's exclusive subwoofer solution for cooler operation, longer life, and tight, accurate bass. The main philosophy behind HAMR Engineering is to ensure the ultimate sound quality and performance through the use of highly advanced materials and patented design technologies.

Please HAMR Don't Hurt Them

HAMR Engineering ensures a cooler subwoofer, and a cooler subwoofer means better bass. When the woofer runs cooler, it plays louder, and creates less stress on components. Special materials such as a high temperature-resistant voice-coil prevent excessive heating and protect the subwoofer from damage.

Advanced Airflow Cooling System

Due to a dynamic airflow system, which consists of the Aluminium Airflow Motor Cover, Perimeter Vented Heat Transfer Plate (pat. Pending), a Multi-Stage VC Cooling System (pat. Pending) and a Radial Vented Voice Coil Heat Sink (pat. Pending), the subwoofer is cooled down by pushing hot air out and bringing cooler air in. This airflow technology helps keep the heated air away from essential components and helps the subwoofer perform its best. Thanks to smart thermal management, heat is efficiently transferred for cooler operation, stable power handling, and longer life.

High-Amplitude Multi-Roll Surround

Alpine's patented High Amplitude Multi Roll, HAMR Surround is a durable surround that is created from injection-molded multi-roll Santoprene™ to handle the higher excursion and incredible SPL (sound pressure levels) the subwoofer is capable of. Its unique design allows for both longer linear, controlled excursion and increased cone area. These subwoofers are ready to deliver massive amounts of bass.

Amplifiers that Give More Power for Less

Alpine's amplifiers are built with superior technology and components, crucial for powering up your subwoofers. The V12 amplifier line-up has been totally redesigned, giving ultimate dollar per watt performance, easier setup and controls, and awesome fidelity.

Play Loud. Take up less room and still get car-bending bass. By fulfilling Alpine’s Power Density concept, you get more watts per cubic inch of amplifier space. Add to this an amazing dollar per watt performance of just 55 cents per watt, and you can see why sometimes less IS more… so Play Loud!

Play Clean. Larger capacitors, bigger toroidal coils, Discrete Class-D and Triple Darlington output circuits are just a few of the technologies found throughout Alpine’s amplifier line-up. Using enhanced technology through microdynamics engineering allows our amps to Play Clean!

Play Long. Alpine’s monoblock amplifiers are built to drive large amounts of power for massive bass output. Exclusive thermal management technology allows for stable operation and reliable bass performance.

A smart logic chip monitors the temperatures of various sections of the amp, then reduces the output level by 6dB until the heat is dissipated.

A dual-speed airflow system forces the heated air away from essential components. Now you can rest assured, knowing that your amp won’t overheat and shut down. Low and behold, non-stop bass performance…so you can Play Long!

Thermal Management (HAMR Engineered Thermal Management)

Alpine’s V12 Class-D amplifiers are built to drive large amounts of power for massive bass output. For reliable bass handling, it is crucial to regulate generated heat. With advanced thermal management, Alpine amps maintain stable performance for maximum sound quality. A dual-speed air-flow system forces the heated air away from essential components. The speed and timing of the fan system is determined by a smart logic chip, so it knows exactly when and how fast to turn on.

Microdynamics engineering helps generate up to 40% more power and 20% more electrical efficiency. Say hello to non-stop power. If it's quality bass you want, get to an Alpine specialist dealer and get HAMR'd today!
